youtube-catchup

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you stay up-to-date with multiple YouTube channels by automatically fetching new videos, extracting transcripts, and turning them into concise notes so you don't have to watch every video.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated channel monitoring: Periodically checks prioritized channels and identifies new uploads.
• Transcript-based summaries: Retrieves transcripts and generates structured bullet-point notes.
• Backfill and de-dup: Supports backfill mode for older content and avoids duplicates by comparing against existing notes.
• Obsidian vault integration: Writes notes to your vault path for easy organization and retrieval.

Quick Start

Trigger the youtube-catchup skill with a command like "youtube catchup" to start processing enabled channels. The produced notes are saved under my-vault/07 Knowledge Base/Capture/Videos/{channel}/{video title}.md and state is updated in references/state.json.
